Is it normal i never have fun?

I just realized something. I almost never do anything on the weekends like hang out with friends or go out or do anything fun at home. What do you guys do during the week(end)? I don't have any friends so I can't hang out with friends. On my days off I don't do much but sleep or try to do things but I can never concentrate on doing anything so most likely I just sit there on the Internet doing absolutely nothing all day. I could go out by myself but it's never fun, actually, I get really anxious or sad.

  • To be honest the times in my life when I was having the most fun was when I had no time for fun.

    Being in college in 2008 (yep! I started college while I was in highscool *flex*) and working a part time + my regular school work, I had zero time for anything. But although I didn't have time for much, I found myself totally fulfilled and happy. I had my family, I had my dreams, and I had my friends. Nothing was missing.

    All that to say is- Work. Have an ambition. It'll give you hope and it'll be great fun watching your plans flourish.

    The Internet is at fault. Cancel it and try to dam a stream with rocks.

    I don't tend to get many free weekends at the moment but when I did, then:

    Go to the pictures
    Meet friends for a drink/shopping
    Go out for a meal with friends
    Feed the ducks and geese at the canal
    Cook/bake
    Read
    Computer games
    TV
    Go out for a walk

    I don't take public transport or drive at the moment but when I did use trains and buses then you can add in:

    Get out for a long walk in the hills
    Go camping
    City breaks
    Go to the seaside
    Visit friends who've moved away

    I like making things. Food is a fun one, and then you get to enjoy eating it. I built a bunch of garden beds over the summer and then planted things. There is always yard work, I enjoy getting my hands dirty.

    I try to be creative. Last winter I knitted a blanket, that kept me busy. But I don't always finish all the projects I start. But that isn't the point. I use to take a lot of pictures but sadly my computer crashed and I lost most of them. I need to take more walks and grow my collection again.

    I also enjoy riding my bicycle.

    Oh, and long walks on the beach.

    What is normal to one is psychological issue to counselors. What you are most likely experiencing is your minds way of coping with your life's choices and to your life's expectations happening around you. We cope with what we want or have to be responsible. Then you take a step out of your focus and re-evaluate your life. There is a balance that each person has that varies from person to person. It is always good to re-evaluate your life but do not forget why you're on the path you chose or you will start having anxiety and you will not enjoy any of your life. You probably were brought up as being a hard worker so you have a very good work ethic. But like every vehicle you must have gas to keep it going so you should have your fill of fun or something you find entertaining so you do not become burned out our have anxiety issues. if you do not make this correction in your life in your mind and in on your path you will suffer major disorders leading to inadequacy. remember you are not like everyone else and everyone has fun according to what time is allotted in their path of life. if you have a hobby you enjoy doing and you still don't enjoy it when you do it, then you need to find peace in your mind and stop comparing yourself to others you are important and you are significant. and most important give yourself a break and be at peace. for every ounce of stress you feel takes away a cubit of your life. if you have a hard time forgiving yourself learn to love yourself and know how important you are to this world. I speak out of personal experience and being a person who is on the edge of committing suicide and was a cutter and I have found my peace within myself. I was always trying to make others happy and I was ignoring myself. now I have built my fun my happiness my work all upon me being the certain of balance or God and if anything should happen with my surroundings around me I make sure I remain strong and don't lose focus on my path and my momentum. Good luck :)

    i hang out with my friends party play with my little sister play video games. if you dont have any friends i suggest you play video games like skyrim and dragon age thoese make you feel like your in a whole new world. and i think you should try to get friends in order to do that your gonna have to step out of your confront zone a bit. if your shy and quit your gonna have to be more friendly and out spoken. dont give up on having friends you can get friends. there are people in the world you bond with trust me ive been where you have been it gets better if you make an effort

    Are you in highschool or University/college?

    I was in your position not so long ago, and still kinda am now. It took me awhile, but I got over the anxious part, and I do just enough things with people to keep me satisfied in the friends department but I know for me, is that I really need a job, or a day hobby. I mentioned school, because there are tons of clubs and I'm sure you might be interested in some of them. But, if thought of seeing people almost makes you sick, or frustrated, just start walking. Sit down at a park, and just read a book. Try to smile at people. Small steps. Talk to me if you think I'm making any sense to you.

    Well I only have one best friend to hang out with and she just moved to another city so we meet only at weekend. At Saturday I usually hang out with her but if I can't I do: Write some fanfictions
    Read a random book
    Watch some anime or read manga
    Sleep for half a day, eat something and go sleep again
    Play games on my PC
    Watch live shows of my favourite band
    Spend my whole day on Tumblr.
    And the same goes with Sunday except for the fact I can't hang out with my friend.
